Gavin has been servicing my gas boiler since he had to replace it's 38 year old predecessor, after I called him out to attempt to get it working. I now have to protect the 10 year warranty with an annual service including a filter change. Gavin offers a very reliable service, with a reminder and invitation to book a time slot to maintain the service history. I am always happy with the service offered and Gavin is a very friendly engineer.

Gavin was very helpful over the phone in our initial conversation about our broken boiler and was able to attend the next day. He was very thorough and even came back later in the day with another part that was needed to finish the job to fit around my commitments. He was polite and friendly and I felt very confident in his knowledge and skills. I would recommend Gavin to anyone who asked and won't hesitate to hire him again for future work.

Excellent. Gavin provided a clear and competitive quote, arrived on time on the due date and delivered an excellent service. All plumbing works were superb, with a neat and tidy approach to the work and a clean space after completion. I know finding a good plumber is hard – Gavin was great!

Is it time?

Signs you need a new boiler.

Over 10 years old

Efficiency drops with age — newer boilers cost less to run.

Frequent breakdowns

Repair bills adding up is usually money down the drain.

Rising energy bills

An ageing boiler works harder to heat the same home.

Yellow or orange flame

Should always burn blue — get this checked promptly.

Uneven heating

Some rooms warm, some cold? The boiler may be struggling.

Unusual noises

Banging, kettling or whistling are early warning signs.

Don’t wait until it fails on the coldest week of the year.

Common questions

What people ask before they commit.

How much does a new boiler cost?

It depends on your home and the boiler you choose, which is exactly why we quote after a free survey rather than guessing over the phone. Most customers don’t pay upfront at all — 0% finance from £25 a month spreads the cost with no deposit.

How long does installation take?

Usually one day. A straight swap is typically done between morning and late afternoon; a relocation or fuel change can take a little longer — we’ll tell you exactly at the survey.

What happens at the survey?

About 30 minutes. We look at your current system, water pressure and pipework, talk through what you want from your heating, and leave you with a fixed written price. No obligation, and we won’t chase you with sales calls.

Which boiler is right for my home?

It comes down to the size of your home, how many bathrooms you have and your hot water use. We install Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal and Glow-worm, and we’re an accredited installer for all four. We’ll recommend the one that genuinely fits — not the one with the biggest margin.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes — a manufacturer-backed warranty, which we register for you. The length depends on the boiler and the brand, so you get the exact figure with your quote. Keep up the annual service and you’re covered for the duration.

Are you an accredited installer?

Yes. GH Heating is an accredited installer for Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal and Glow-worm, which means the manufacturer has checked and approved us to fit their boilers. Accredited installers can offer the manufacturer’s extended warranty on a new boiler. The length depends on the boiler and the brand, so you get the exact figure with your quote.

Are you Gas Safe registered?

Yes — Gas Safe Reg. 651846. It’s a legal requirement for anyone working on gas, and you can verify our registration on the Gas Safe Register website.
